summary ; coping with carl's death.
warnings ; hcs, mentions of death and blood, guilt
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ you ripped off the ‘love carl’ that he wrote on the goodbye letter he gave you and stuck it in a locket you found scavenging so he’s always with you
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ not being able to look at judith for a while because she looks too much like carl from certain angles
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ wearing his flannels, even the bloody ones, until they don't smell like him anymore
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ collecting comics you find even though they were never your thing because you know he would love them
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ when you can finally look at judith again, you tell her all kinds of stories about the kind of man he was so his memory isn't forgotten
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ nightmares are frequent after his death, he visits you in dreams to blame you, to tell you that you didn't do enough to save him
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ blaming siddiq for a while, holding resentment until you can finally come to terms with the fact that's not what carl would've wanted
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ looking at polaroids you took with him that you thought were stupid but now you're glad you let him take them
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ sometimes, for a brief moment, you'll expect him to be there when you turn to tell him something
𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶ♱ finding the emptiness in the bed next to you where he used to sleep jarring + stroking your own hair to sleep, like he used to
